Student Testimonials: Academic Insights and Experiences

  • The embedded systems lab was very useful for me as it allowed me to rapidly prototype many ideas i had for my project within a short time frame. I was also able to get hands on experience with building, programming and soldering together a simple robot. I am definitely much more interested in the field of robotics as a whole due to my experiences in this lab.

  • The embedded systems lab was a pivotal experience during my university studies. Our instructor’s expertise and clear guidance made building a line-following robot with Arduino both engaging and rewarding. It sparked my interest in embedded systems, and it was exciting to see a machine follow my instructions.

    Hussain Afeef
  • The embedded systems lab is honestly where I developed a keen interest for electronics and electrical devices as it allowed me to get hands on experiences with things I wouldn’t be able to otherwise with access to guidance from lecturers. It has led me to acquire my own equipment and devices after graduation and allowed me to get a new hobby that I enjoy very much.

  • The hands-on experience of building a robot using Arduino was one of the most interesting and engaging work done in my studies. This helped me to gain an insight on how programmed machines and robots are built in the real world as well as plan on how to proceed if I needed to build a robot based on my own ideas as well.

    Mohamed Sharufan
  • Building a robot using an Arduino board was an incredible hands-on learning experience. It strengthened my skills in electronics and programming while giving me a deep understanding of robotics. The satisfaction of seeing my design work was a major highlight of my studies.
